Tip #2: When writing for others, be sure to retain copyright. Most people remember to click the "share on Facebook" (or Twitter, Digg, etc.) In addition to sharing and posting on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, I like to adapt for other media, as well as information products (eBooks and special reports). 2) Recycle.

Questions in their simplest form draw our attention to a problem, and then curiosity starts digging into the problem. I remember my son at five years old once asked me, “Mommy, why do I always confuse my left and right, but I never confuse my up and down?” Such a simple question, but the answer befuddled me…and the question was a valid one.

If you want your blog to form a solid foundation for your business, then reputation should be a serious concern for you. If you want serious money, you have to back it up with reputation. One final word about online reputation: keep in mind that you need it only if you want to create sustainable value through your blog.

You’d lose a crucial part of your life (and your income, if your writing forms all or part of your paid work). We boast on Twitter about the number of blog posts we’ve written in a day. Writing is a form of communication, and there’s a person on the receiving end. Yeah, I’m guilty of this).

Take An Interview With Yourself Yes, you’re a star and yes you deserve exposure. Take an interview with yourself. Change by reaction is rooted in fear and is nothing more than a form of escapism. All of these mindsets are forms of self-sabotage. Thinking that change is impossible is a form of self-sabotage.
